Summary
The first time Claire Valentine laid eyes on Eve Mackie, she knew she was in love.
Of course, the first time Claire saw Eve, she was all of six years old, a tiny little scrap of a thing in a body that didn’t feel quite so uncomfortable yet, in skin that didn’t feel quite so stretched thin. She wasn’t even Claire yet; sometimes she took her mother’s name out and tried it on the same way that you or I might pull out fine china for special occasions (or our most favorite hoodie on rainy days when we just want to crawl back into bed and cover our head), but it never fit just right.
Over the years, Claire expected that Eve forgot about her. Forgot that they’d almost been married, forgot that she’d promised to be Mrs. Valentine. She tried to forget about her, too, just like she tried to be anyone other than Claire, to fit into the skin that her father sketched out for her. But the more she tried, the thinner it grew, until she felt like she was splitting.
Then her parents died, and everything changed.
